‘I felt I did the best on this track, better than I have all year. I’ve had [other] good races but not as good as this race. I feel really proud of myself; I did really well, I worked really hard and I got to have this experience and it was so fun!’ 1/3 🧵

Kaia said “I'm super excited to race. I love Korea and this track. By the end of training I managed to throw down a couple of good times. I'm just going to go be aggressive on the start, relax on the way down, have fun and keep reminding myself that it's just tobogganing!”
